WaterAid America

"WaterAid is an international organization whose mission is to transform the lives of the poorest and most marginalized people by improving access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene. Through our partners, we reached over 2 million people with clean water and 3 million people with sanitation last year."

This charity is my go-to. They work in the poorest 38 countries in the world to provide clean water, access to toilets, and hygiene education. I was raising money for them by getting pledges for a half marathon, and they contacted me to offer resources. I raised $850 in just a few months.

The thing I really like about their website is you can see just how much impact you're making - for instance, $100 is equal to two hand pumps.
